Common Questions

Do I need technical skills?
No! If you can write an email, you can create a campaign.

How many letters can I send?
Our paid accounts start at 10,000 letters a month - enough to start a movement. Upgrade anytime for more volume.

Will every supporter send the same letter?
The AI uses your campaign letter as the foundation, ensuring messages stay on-topic while allowing supporters to add their personal voice. It intelligently incorporates your letter, bill text and fact sheet data to create unique, compliant variations.

Do I need to know my legislators?
No! We automatically match supporters to their correct representatives based on their address - including U.S. House, Senate, and state legislators. Our database is updated daily to ensure accuracy.

What about letter moderation?
Our inbuilt AI moderator automatically reviews all letters for quality and appropriateness. All messages are put in a 48hr window for manual approval for orgs looking for an extra layer of control.

How can I engage my advocates?
Advocates who opt-in for communication updates are automatically added to your supporter list. You can export them via CSV or sync directly with Mailchimp and other email/CRM platforms for ongoing engagement campaigns.

Do you offer discounts to nonprofits?
Yes! We support nonprofits with special pricing. Get in touch at sean@legisletter.org.
